Neon Genesis Evangelion Academy: The Records of Heaven's Descent (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン 学園堕天録) is an officially licensed manga spin-off of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Authored by Min Min and published in Asuka magazine. At the time of writing 9 issues have been published.
The story starts with Shinji losing a coin beneath a vending machine, when he seeks to retrieve it he discovers a marble-like stone which is later revealed to be a core. The core Shinji discovers acts as a key into a secret organisation of students (Asuka, Rei, Kaworu) within the school he goes to, Nerv's Academy, who battle the Angels who seek the cores for themselves.
The manga uses elements from the television series in new ways, the above about the use of cores being one example of many.
Some other examples include...
'Evas' come in pods that get written into their DNA. They must focus their thoughts on their right hands to summon their Eva which varies as weapons depending on the character.
Their weapon's are as follows...
- Shinji: Gun
- Asuka: Whip
- Rei: Lance of Longinus
- Kaworu: Sword
Angels must also take over a life form in order to 'exist' in the world.
